"It really bothers me that trainers don't use full Pokemon teams still to this day"

I can understand why (for balance reasons) some early gym leaders may have less than the full 6 Pokemon, but it is incredibly disappointing when you hit basically the very end of the game and you are facing trainers in the Pokemon League challenge that are only using 4 Pokemon.It isn't as if the game is even remotely challenging as-is, but this just makes it more of a joke, and one that doesn't even make any canonical sense. If these trainers are competing to actually win, why are they gimping their own teams?And it just makes Hop and Bede even more annoying when they prattle on and on about being the best trainer evar and still don't have enough sense to use 6 Pokemon.Edit: Note, I should have specified that I am talking about Gym Leaders, Rivals, Boss Battles, etc. Not random trainers on routes/goons.Also the fact that there are no held items on any of these trainers is another disgrace. It would be funny to all of a sudden see one of the gym leaders sweep my team due to use of a weakness policy or even from a berry. But, there is no surprise. It's just mash super-effective moves, yawn, and move on. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/34Of2PJ
